Is Cubase a good fit with the MPC 5000? If not what do you guys out there use?

cubase is good. I say go with reaper since its free. Check out the MPC template I posted a while back.. use search function cuz im not diggin for it...

I use reaper from time to time.. but I prefer cubase because it integrates perfect with the motif...

any sequencer is good with MPC, none of them have 'special functionality that can be used with MPC5000'

so any DAW you prefer to work with, will work with any MPC.
as for my personal choice : Ableton rules.
